Happy New Year! 2012 marks the beginning of big changes. Where does one begin when you want to transform ALL in 1 Year! With a LIST! A list of all the projects you want to complete...All the goals you want to accomplish...All the things that must get done!
So Yesterday I sat quietly in my favorite chair, while the rest of my family watched a movie and wrote my list. I listed some things in detail and some thing in general. I probably missed a few things and I wrote somethings that are not realistic.
First, I wrote a list of each room in the house then, room by room I listed each thing that I wanted to do in that room. Some rooms had a few project while others were major over hauls. This is my project list and I placed it under "Project List" in my home management binder. (more on that in a future post)
Second, I wrote out my meal plan for the week. (more on that in a future post) This week we are having:
Monday: Porcupine Meatballs (family request before we start back to school) (recipe will soon me added, here)
Tuesday: Chicken Ziti (recipe will soon me added, here)
Wednesday: Tacos!
Thursday: Post roast in the crock pot
Friday: Italian Sausages with peppers and onions
Saturday: Turkey Meatballs
Sunday: Grilled Chicken
Third, I created a chart to see how often I complete my daily goals throughout the month. This list includes my daily cleaning list, workout goals, and project goals. Each day I will put a check mark next to the completed item. At the end of the month and can set a new goal for the new month. One of the items on the list NO SODA! There are 31 days in January so I set the goal of NO SODA for 15 days. Day one is over and I did not have soda so I put a check mark on my chart! YAY! One down, 14 more to go! I walked on the tread mill too, so another check mark went on the chart for exercise!
So now I have organized my week, with meals, cleaning schedule, exercise schedule, and a chart to help motivate and keep me on track! My fun project this week is to take more picture so I can post picture on the blog...always fun to see pictures!
